General Info
TECARAN™ ABS is an amorphous terpolymer made up of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.
TECARAN™ ABS occupies the unique position of being a bridge between the commodity and other higher
performance engineering thermoplastics. Its performance is characterized by toughness and impact
strength even at low temperatures, good stiffness and machinability.

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, lm and custom pro les and machine
parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the
shape has their own product trade name. If your speci cation calls for a speci c resin grade or
manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your speci cation or
suggest an equal. If you require a speci c resin or brand it must be speci ed at the time of order.
